Mayweather vs McGregor

Mcgregor tires because he is cutting weight to below his actual weight class in a way most people don't. Most people cut 12 pounds; he's cutting a lot more. He is a bigger man fighting naturally much smaller men than him, this wasn't true of course in the Diaz bouts, where in the first he was overweight for him and had not done enough Cardio and as you said in the second Diaz did what Diaz does best ran a marathon, which is why it was so close. Diaz is a very good boxer for MMA, he may not look stylish but he is actually very good.

At featherweight he cuts a lot, but at lightweight he doesn't, I don't know if you're referencing Boxing or MMA, but in mma the average fighter cuts a lot more than 12 pounds. Most guys at the top of their respective divisions cut upwards of 25.

He could have picked a better descriptor, but yeah, he wasn't referring to the Mexican ethnicity. He meant a style of fighting popular with Mexican fighters. Similar to how "wrestleboxing" is popular with American MMA fighters, or kickboxing for the Dutch, etc. Different countries have "styles" that often form.

I'm just curious what they even thought he meant when they thought it was racism lol. Like what they specifically thought he was trying to say when he said he "turned him into a mexican".

The heavier the weight the more water weight you can cut last minute, most have this down to a fine art. People don't cut as drastically as they once did due to incidents like Michael Watson and Gerald McClellan where the use of diuretics was at least contributory to brain damage and in McClellan's case death. And if your saw how much bigger than Alvarez quite a standard lightweight Mcgregor was you realise he cuts a lot even for lightweight.

He was taller, but I guarantee you Alvarez probably had close to 10 lbs on McGregor. Alvarez is muscular as phuck.

So Mayweather had a minimum purse of 100mil and McGregor (aka The Great White Hype) had one of 30mil. I'm sure they both made more after all is said and done.

Just lucky it ended by ref ruling, which makes it controversial. So how long until May weather Vs McGregor II? I say 9-12 months

Basically

Floyd got fat.

Possibly, dude had to know he had no chance.

Mayweather is not going to destroy him. He is going to dance around the ring until the clock runs out, and win by technicality.

So Mayweather ran down the clock for 10 rounds and won by technical knock out. Sounds about right.

I am seeing some act like they almost feel cheated. Like Mayweather and McGregor pulled one over on everyone and are laughing all the way to the bank.

I guess the implication there is that from the beginning they both knew McGregor had no real chance, but just set it up to make money.

It's speculated Conor got at least 100 mil and Floyd 300 mil. They're laughing their asses off while people at Sherdog argue Boxing vs MMA.

Keep in mind, I'm not criticizing them. If you told me I could get 100 million dollars for getting my ass beat, I'd wrap my hands right now and walk to Vegas.

It doesn't quite meet the freak show of Ali Vs. Inoki but it might be a new low for the last twenty years for a sports "event".

That fight was a debacle, imo. Inoki on his back like some cheap Romanian whore for 90+% of the time and Ali looking like a clown. Not sure Inoki dominated, he did have the best hits though, the very few that were had. All out; both being able to use the full arsenal of their respective sports, Inoki would have likely won as he was around Ali's size, if a bit heavier. Barring Ali catching Inoki with a clean chin-shot as Inoki came in.

Have you see the fight that happened before that match with Andre 'The Giant' Vs Wepner? Wrestling Vs Boxing, it's the match that was the inspiration for Rocky Vs Thunderlips in Rocky III
